Notes

For a nut-free option, try using sunflower seed butter or mashed banana instead of peanut butter.
You can customize the cookies with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chia seeds for extra texture.
Make sure to boil the mixture for a full minute to ensure the cookies harden properly.
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy chilled or paired with ice cream!
